Both likely mid-1926 production. Both "E" series Wadsworth cases--E+last 4 on bezel. I think this was for reinforced/gold filled (vs. the "P" Pilot/Ultra Quality series).

Anyone know who made Caliber 707? It has an interesting click--one I've seen on many Alpinas, seldom seen it on Gruens of this time beyond the 707 and the Factory P mvmt I've posted. It also has unique style of points on the bridges, which I've seen on several mystery movements from the WSC & Premo days. Any clues?


My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more

Caliber 707 was made by Lavina.
